Abstract
At least one 2-sulphured metaphenylenediamine of formula (I) ##STR1## used for dyeing keratin fibres, wherein Z is alkyl, aralkyl, monohydroxyalkyl, polyhydroxyalkyl, aryl or aminoalkyl; R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, which are the same or different, are hydrogen, alkyl, monohydroxyalkyl, polyhydroxyalkyl, monocarbamylalkyl, dialkylcarbamyl, aminoalkyl, acyl carbalkoxy, carbamyl, or monoalkylcarbamyl; R.sub.3 is hydrogen, alkyl, nitrile, amide, fluoroalkyl, or --COOR; and the corresponding acid salts. A method for dyeing keratin fibres, and novel 2-sulphured metaphenylenediamines, are also disclosed.

A 2-sulfurated metaphenylenediamine having the formula ##STR19## wherein Z' represents C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl, aralkyl wherein the alkyl moiety is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 monohydroxyalkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 polyhydroxyalkyl, aryl, aminoalkyl having the formula ##STR20## wherein n is an integer from 1 to 6;
- R'.sub.4 and R'.sub.5, each independently, represent hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyl;
- R'.sub.1 and R'.sub.2, each independently, represent hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 monohydroxyalkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 polyhydroxyalkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 monocarbamoylalkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 dialkylcarbamoyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 aminoalkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 carbalkoxy, carbamyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 monoalkylcarbamoyl;
- R'.sub.3 represents hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, nitrile, amide, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 fluoroalkyl or --COOR wherein R represents hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl;
- and the acid salt thereof, with the proviso that:
- (a) when R'.sub.1, R'.sub.2 and R'.sub.3 represent hydrogen, Z' is other than said C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl or said aryl;
- (b) when Z' represents methyl and R'.sub.3 represents hydrogen, R'.sub.1 and R'.sub.2 do not represent the same C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyl,
- (c) when Z' represents methyl and when R'.sub.3 represents hydrogen and when one of R'.sub.1 and R'.sub.2 represents hydrogen, the other R'.sub.1 and R'.sub.2 do not represent a C.sub.4 acyl;
- (d) when R'.sub.1 and R'.sub.2 represent hydrogen and R'.sub.3 represents a trifluoromethyl in the 5 position, Z' does not represent C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl;
- and
- (e) when R'.sub.1 and R'.sub.2 represent hydrogen and R'.sub.3 represents methyl in the 4 position, Z' does not represent methyl.
